Cannot Install EMU Expansion Samples in Dimension Pro 1.5/Sonar X1
Has anyone run into this and (better still) have a solution? I bought a new DAW to upgrade my Sonar X1 installation (I have 8.5 running on an older machine with Dimension Pro 1.5 + Emu Packs running successfully.) However, I cannot get the Emu Expansion packs to show up in Dimension Pro on my Sonar X1 machine. I have even clicked on the "Program Browser" and hit F5 to refresh the patch list but that isn't helping. The Emu Pack samples are correctly installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples and C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs. What gives? Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks...

Dim Pro 32bit or 64bit? In the registry, where does Dim Pro's "Multisamples Folder" key point?

Hi Baudze, The programs location have changed between Dimension 1.2 and D-Pro 1.5. Please move your programs folder files to C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs. Then open the D-Pro browser and refresh - F5. If you do not see the ProgramData folder, select Tools, Folder Options, View - Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives. Good Luck, Tim www.DigitalSoundFactory.com

I tried exactly that but it didn't work for me. First I moved the contents of the Programs folder into the other folder mentioned. I refreshed the browser, then the folders were there but when I tried to load the samples, it stated they weren't there. Then, moved the multisamples folder over and it still wouldn't work! I'm running a 64bit machine with the Dimension Pro 64bit that came with X1. When I had XP 32bit and Sonar 8.5 I didn't have this problem. Is it possible the expansion pack isn't 64bit compatible or something?
I need more luck ;)

After you get this sorted, it is worth making a backup copy of the Multisamples and Programs folders. Then in future, if you need to migrate to another PC or reinstall everything on your existing one, you can copy these folders over and avoid the need to reinstall expansion packs. This applies not just to Dimension Pro, but also to any other softsynths to which you have added to the original multisample or program content.

The Proteus Pack and all www.DigitalSoundFactory.com expansion packs are compatible with Win 7 64 bit. If the Program Files are appearing in the browser, they are in the correct location - C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs Please be sure the Mulitsamples are in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples. Each expansion pack multisamples folder needs to reside here - ie - Digital Sound Factory Proteus 2000, Digital Sound Factory Mo' Phatt, etc. Best Regards, Tim

OK, I've done all that. When I'm in the browser, I have the expansion packs where they are supposed to be! The multi-samples folder IS there!
Everything appears to be in order with the exception of when clicking on the sample to load it, It says it isn't there. It's says- solly cholly, we no worky for you.
Is it possible to uninstall DPro and reInstall it? Then load the expansion pack with out issue. I mean the 1A update fixed all this right? I'm going to move on to other issues right now. Currently keeping the snap to grid button engaged is keeping me busy.

Any resolution to this? I am having the exact same problem with Virtuoso 2000 and Proteus-PX7 on Dimension Pro 1.5 in X1a!
Thanks!

Check (in Windows Explorer) to see if the Proteus expansion packs' multisamples and programs are being installed to the wrong filepaths. If so, move the files manually to the correct locations.

File locations have changed with the new Dimension 1.5 update. If anyone would like us to send new installers, please send a PM along with a proof of purchase. All DSF installers have been recently upgraded to work correctly with Dimension 1.2/ 1.5 and all versions of Sonar. Best Regards, Tim www.DigitalSoundFactory.com

Tim, I have copied them per the FAQ/this thread, but still no avail.
Is a new installer still needed?
Thanks!

Windows XP customers updating from Dimension 1.2 to 1.5 - Move files in the Program Folder - C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs\ to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs\ The Multisamples Folder should remain in - C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\ Open Dimension and press F5 to refresh the list.

The Multisamples Folder should remain in -
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\
Is there now an option to install the multisamples elsewhere? I have my Dimension Pro and Rapture multisamples stored on a separate drive. Almost all of the expansion packs that I have added (DSF ones inparticular) fail to take this into account and automatically install to the default folder.

32 bit Dimension/Rapture determines the Multisamples Folder location via the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Dimension Pro\Contents Folder. If you move Multisamples to another drive, you will need to set the correct path in the Contents Folder and copy your Mulitsamples files to that location. Sorry the installers do not take this into consideration, but just getting things to work with all the variations of Dimension was a massive undertaking. Best Regards, Tim www.DigitalSoundFactory.com

Hello, I recently had this problem with Dimension Pro and the E-Mu Proteus pack on a which wouldn't show in the programs list. Also, hitting F5 didn't help as the DAW i am using had already that hotkey assigned. I finally found this solution that worked on my Windows 7 64 bit.
Here is what you must do if you have this problem:
1- enter the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs.
2- find a file called programs.lst which should be about ~1mb (depending on how many programs you have loaded)
3- delete it (this is only a cache file which holds the program paths so don't worry, it will be recreated)
